Having only pure thoughts in mind, Ginny smiled and responded to Alan. "Even if we talk about treating for a meal, it should be me treating you. Not the other way around."

"Huh?" Hearing neither a yes nor no answer, he looked at her with mixed emotions. 

"Did you forget? You're the one who helped me find my ring last time. If it weren't for you, I would lose something very precious to me. As a thank you, it should be me treating you to a meal. As for the meal that Lin Que owes me, I was just fooling around when I said it." She waved her hand in a fanning gesture with a smile that showed her top row of teeth and faintly curved lips. 

Just like that, he watched her walk to a less crowded corner to not block anyone's path. When she turned around with an indifferent smile, his feet felt like he was super glued to the spot; unable to move a step forward. It was the same feeling he had the other day as well. Mesmerized...or perhaps even moved by her genuine smile. 

Watching Ginny approach him, the slowly minimizing gap between them increased the excitement in his drum beating heart; her eyes remained locked to his. "Alan? Are you alright?" She waved her hand in front of his face to drag him out of his dreamland. 

She was waiting for him at the corner, but saw him standing in a daze. Worried he might have fallen ill or was in pain, she walked back to where he stood. As she exhaled, her shoulders relaxed. "Hmm? Uhm, Yeah. I'm fine. I was just having some thoughts in my mind," Alan blinked and smiled at her.

"Let's wait for Auntie over there. There are fewer people walking around, so we won't be in anyone's way." She pointed to the corner next to a plant.

"Okay," he followed behind her this time. After some second thoughts, he decided to ask her for her number. "Since you wouldn't accept the free meal because you think you owe me a meal, then how about we exchange numbers? We could go out for two dinner meals. I'll treat you once, and you treat me once."

"Just dinner only? No breakfast or lunch?" She teased as she took out her phone and unlocked it to add his number to the contacts list.

"Any time for any meal." He pulled out his phone to add her number. 

"Sure." Just like that he successfully got her number without her noticing a deeper meaning behind his request. As they saved each other's contacts, Alan said, "Oh, I might get you mixed up with another Ginny. How about using a selfie as the contact photo so I could tell it's you?"

"Pfft, then let's take a picture together. This way, it'll be more distinguishable." She opened the beauty photo app from her phone and stood beside him as she aimed the front camera of her phone to fit both of them in the frame. Since she was shorter than him, he extended his hand to hold the phone for her.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Yep! Ready whenever you are." She replied as she smiled towards the camera. Following her bright smile in front of the camera, he also smiled along and took a few pictures. Double-checking the quality of the pictures, Ginny raised three fingers with her index finger and thumb curved to form an "O" shape. 

"Sent you the picture by text messages. Oh! Auntie is back." She said as she put away her phone and walked towards Toby. 

Toby smiled and said, "I got my phone. Let's go. See you next time, Alan." 

Ginny also waved, "Bye Alan!"

"Bye.." he watched as the two of them left to the parking lot. Looking down at his phone, his thumb slid across the picture he received by text. His curved lips reflected from his phone screen as he whispered, "Definitely see you next time."

On Monday morning, Lin Que woke up an hour early to drive to the nearest flower shop by his home, which was located twenty minutes in the opposite direction from where the hospital was located. As he entered, the shop assistant locked her eyes on the potential customer, whose appearance almost blinded her sight under the sunlight that shone on him. 

"Sir, how may I assist you today?" Drawing in a steady breath, she gathered her professionalism to greet him with an amiable smile. His pleasant smile perfectly matched with the fresh droplets on the morning delivery of roses in the store. 

"Can I get a bouquet of pink carnations?" His sight immediately attracted itself to the protective pink of the pink carnations. 

"Of course. Would you like me to wrap it up?" She asked as she presented a few ribbon choices in her hands and gift wraps for him to choose from.

"Sure. It's for visiting a special granny's grave. I'm not sure what color would be suitable for this occasion, so I'll let you be the judge of it." He smiled dazzlingly, almost as moving as the flowers in her hand; similar to miniature pearls of exquisite delicacy, the word, stunning, could not even match its description.

"Yes, right away." She quickly wrapped the bouquet and completed his purchase. 

Around eleven, he clocked out of the system and went to pick Lily up. She was already dressed by the time he knocked on her door. After getting used to seeing her in the same colored patient outfit, he almost forgot how beautiful regular outfits looked on her. 

Perhaps it was for her grandmother; she wore a long-sleeved cream-colored dress with simple flower embroider designs on the waistband. Seeing Lin Que by the door, she took her purse and phone. "I'm ready to go," she smiled.

"Hold on. It's a bit chilly today. Here, take your jacket with you." He walked into her room and took the denim jacket behind her chair. 

"Mm." She replied and followed him to the parking lot. He opened the passenger side first and waited for her to settle before getting into the driver's seat. 

Before starting the ride, he took the bouquet from the back of the seat and handed it to her. "Here, hold this, so the flowers won't be squished in the back."

"These are really beautiful. They're fresh too." Taking a close sniff on the flowers, a sense of sorrow showed in her eyes. As if catching her change of emotions, he slowly leaned over towards her side. 

Raising her head, she realized that he was getting closer to her. Subconsciously, she squeezed her eyes shut.

The first time was a coincidence.
Second time could be called good timing.
Third time is destiny.

The first time they met, they were both cosplaying at an Anime Convention. Coincidentally, she was Usagi Tsukino, and he happened to be Tuxedo Mask from the anime, Sailor Moon. 

Their first gaze caught his attention.
Her first smile swept his heart away. 
She walked towards him, and he was ready to take off the mask to talk to her. Unfortunately, it was all a misunderstanding.

This was their first time crossing paths, but he facepalmed so hard when he realized he got the wrong idea that he changed his "Hi," into an anime's title, "Hitman Reborn." At that time, he watched her approach another person who acted as Tuxedo Mask behind him. The smile she had on her face wasn't towards him. It was a mistake.

Two months later

Second time they met was at their graduation. His brother, Lucas, flew back from overseas to attend his graduation in place of his parents. After taking countless pictures with his brother and some with friends, they left campus. Inside his black Mercedes, his brother shoved several well taken photos and showed it to him.

Just when he was about to answer his regular plain response, the words swallowed back down his throat. He held his brother's phone and zoomed in to the back where he saw her again! Once again, a facepalm landed on his face as he couldn't believe that there could be such timing. He could've gotten her name!

After a few days later, he got off his shift late and realized that he didn't go grocery shopping. Since his fridge was empty, he decided to have his meal at a newly opened Szechuan Spicy Bowl restaurant. 

"It shouldn't take that long to get a seat at this time.." Or so he thought.

When he got there, the place was full and he didn't have much patience since he was alone. Right when he was about to leave, the waiter asked if he minded sharing a table. 

"Sure." 
He sat down across from the girl and ordered from the menu. When she took a few napkins to wipe her nose, he took the chance to thank her for sharing the table.
And there she was with her Beyond Human level spicy bowl...
Although they only exchanged a few words, he found her very interesting. A girl eating at this hour without caring about her weight and her surrounding. She was adorable. 

The clumsy her forgot her newly printed business cards at her seat when she left. 

"Lily Jiang," he smiled. He thought of bringing this to her when he is free, but who knew that they would meet again at the hospital?

His lips twitched when he faced his new patient, "Hello, Miss. Jiang, I am Lin Que, your doctor for this visit. Where do you feel uncomfortable?" He looked at the medical report in hand as he couldn't believe his luck with this girl.

It was painful in that instant, but the pain subsided soon after. 
Tang Yuansi's face turned a little pale. As he stared at the sleeping Shangxin, the corner of his mouth curved into a slight arc.
He was so happy.
He was so happy that he seemed so silly.
He had never once imagined that he would have a child, a child that she bore him.
He was so happy he had forgotten that he had heart disease; he just wanted to keep on staring at her and their baby…
Everything that had happened tonight was just like a dream.
Tang Yuansi maintained the same position for a very long time.
After a long while, he shifted his gaze away from Shangxin's sleeping face and turned to stare at her flat tummy.
It appeared to be very flat and he could not tell that a baby was growing inside.
Tang Yuansi thought of something. Taking out the ultrasound photo, he held it in his hands and stared at it repeatedly—it was as if he could not get enough of it no matter how long he stared at it.
He was about to go crazy from holding in the happiness in his heart.
In the end, he reached out for his cell phone, and after thinking about it for a while sent Yu Yuehan a text message.
Apart from expressing his concern and asking if he felt any better after drinking so much alcohol, he also told him that he was about to become a father.
Beep! A cell phone text message alert sounded.
Tang Yuansi switched his phone to silent mode immediately. Annoyed, he turned around and took a glance at the sleeping Shangxin on the bed. He only heaved a sigh of relief after ensuring that she had not been woken by the cell phone alert.
He thought to himself, It's so late and yet that drunk dude is still awake, I can have someone to share my joy of a soon-to-be father too.
Then, he immediately whipped out his cell phone and cast a glance at Yu Yuehan's reply. 
In the end, only one word could be seen in the text message, "Crazy!"
"…"
To be honest, if not for the fact that he was busy caring for Shangxin and the baby in her tummy right now, he might just have headed to the Yu Family villa to fight Yu Yuehan the very moment he saw that word.
After some thinking, he figured that Yu Yuehan might not know that Shangxin had already returned to the country. As such, after reading his text message, he might have thought that Tang Yuansi was indeed too hurt and that he had gone crazy and wasn't scolding him after all.
Taking into consideration that Yu Yuehan was a good friend who would accompany him for an 'alcohol versus plain water' drinking session, Tang Yuansi pursed his thin lips and sent him another message.
"Shangxin is back."
After thinking about it, he raised the ultrasound picture and took a photo of it before sending it out.
Afraid that Yu Yuehan might not be able to understand it, he added, "This is our baby, I am about to become a dad!"
Yu Yuehan replied a minute later.
This time, there were no words and only six dots could be seen on the text message. 
To be exact, it looked like this, "..."
Tang Yuansi smiled the moment he saw the six dots on his cell phone.
Yu Yuehan must have been dumbfounded since he had used punctuation, eh?
That's right, he knew that any ordinary person would be this happy the moment they knew that he was about to become a father.
He was definitely not silly.
After Tang Yuansi placed his cell phone down, he changed into his sleeping attire and walked back to the bed.
Just when he was about to climb in bed, he suddenly saw that the screen of his cell phone had lit up.
He reached out and took a glance at it—it was a text message from Yu Yuehan.
He had expressed his words through a single photo.
Xiao Liuliu was lying on the pillow; her delicate little face was rosy red, just like a jelly dessert. 
She was sleeping very soundly and she was even holding onto one of Yu Yuehan's fingers tightly with her tiny hand, refusing to let go even though she had fallen asleep.
The Xiao Liuliu in the photo appeared to be less than three years old and so this should be an old photo. Nonetheless, her squishy and tender looks still struck one's heart.


Yu Yuehan is the usual rich, perfect, aloof president—the richest man in City H; but one day, a female toddler suddenly appears in his life as his daughter! Despite being certain that he has never touched a woman before, DNA tests certify that the toddler is his! He soon becomes a good 'daddi' for the little toddler, Xiao Liuliu.

Two years later, for some inexplicable reason, Xiao Liuliu becomes very fond of a trial nurse, Nian Xiaomu, hired to take care of her. Nian Xiaomu has a strong personality and refuses to let anyone bully her. Constantly wary that anyone might cause harm to his daughter, Yu Yuehan keeps a constant watch over Nian Xiaomu. However, his black-bellied daughter has plans for her father up her sleeves… Over time, Nian Xiaomu reveals her charming side bit by bit; and for the first time in his life, Yu Yuehan is drawn in by this mysterious woman…

Keywords: Mysterious Daughter, Cute Daughter, Aloof, Nurse, Strong Woman

Cute Scene:

"Daddi, you are so handsome!" Xiao Liuliu blushes.
"Daddi, I want hugs!" Xiao Liuliu coos.
"Daddi, I want a younger sister! Quick make one with Mommi."
"Daddi…"
Yu Yuehan says in a deadpan fashion, "I have never slept with any woman! How can I have a daughter!?"
"Did Mommi sleep with you without you realizing it?"
Yu Yuehan: "…”

Lu Sheng blinked before looking at the time, he really had to go now. Lu Sheng looked at the girl before giving out few instructions, "The housekeeper will be here soon and she will take care of your daily needs. If you are in need of anything contact me, okay?"

Like a wife listening to her husband she jotted down everything attentively, Lu Sheng gave her a few more instructions before saying his final good bye, "It's time for me to go; take care of yourself." "Have a safe trip!" Qin Yue wished with a faint smile on her face; with nothing more left to say or remind Lu Sheng turned around to leave.

Qin Yue stood rooted on her place as she watched him leaving; tugging the hem of her dress she bit on her lower lip. Just as he was about to step out she called out his name, "Sheng!" Lu Sheng's step halted as he turned around casting a lazy look.

"Th... Thank You!" Qin Yue stammered; he kept quiet seemingly not understanding what she was thanking him for. She elaborated, "Thank you for the house and all these gifts." Lu Sheng parted his lips as if he wanted to say something but ended up giving her a grunt in acknowledgement. He didn't look back even once as he strode out of the house and left.

Lu Sheng's flight was scheduled to be in the three of the afternoon; sitting in her bedroom she looked at the clock which was ticking by. It was already half past two, in no time he would leave the country and disappear from her life for a whole month.

If it were normal circumstances she would have been elated the the Lucifer was finally leaving the Hell but at this particular moment her perspective about him was dangling. She hurt him once and he made her payback, they were even now and after what all he did to her how can a woman not be satisfied, he didn't even spare a reason for her to be be mad.

She fished ond looked at the phone number which she had freshly saved in her phone through the assistance of Xiao Xi- the young housekeeper who was appointed to take care of her needs. She always held a soft spot for him in her heart, after all he was the only one she ever dared to crown in her heart.

Her fingers hesitated before clicking on his WhatsApp; holding the phone with her two hands she bit on her lips drafting, "Come back home as soon as possible, I will be waiting for you!"

She decided to tap on the send option but stopped, she was not satisfied with the message she wrote. What's with this tone of a wife waiting for her husband! Instead of send her thumbs pressed hard on the erase button; with determination she redrafted, "Have a safe trip!" 

Wait a second, I shave used this slang already! Pursing her lips out of frustration she reedited the text for the third time, "I miss you!"

Damn it, why does this sound so cheesy? Qin Yue's eyes darkened, she wanted to show him that she cared but in the most casual way possible however based on the relationship they shared it was impossible. 'Heck it, I am not sending any messages!" She thought to herself and threw away the phone, lying flat on the bed she stared at the ceiling unthoughtful.

At the airport, during the meantime, Lu Sheng was sitting leisurely in the passenger hall staring unwaveringly at the phone screen. The display was lit displaying a clear chat screen of his and a person called 'Silly Point'.

Everyone and then the other side would be showed as typing sending Lu Sheng's heart into a valley of anticipation. Actually the sole reason he took out his phone was to kill time when he suddenly started to miss her.

He opened his contact list and started at her name, after two seconds he clicked on her name and prepared to write a text. But before he could do it his eyes were attracted to her online status which had changed into 'typing'.

Lu Sheng was taken aback; was she taking an initiative to text him first. The man immediately abandoned his idea, pulling his back to himself he waited for her text. Few seconds passed but the anticipated message had yet not arrived; the typing status blinked for a few times before going dead.

Offline? Lu Sheng stared at the phone screen as his lips curved into a sweet smile. He was a little disappointed that the text never came but the happiness that he managed to cross her thoughts was so overpowering that he forgot to be sad.

He waited for some time hoping that she would be online again but as always he was faced with disappointment. Chen Han reminded him that the plane was about to take off; he nodded before shoving the phone into his pocket after switching it off.

Seated inside the first class cabin he looked outside the window; as the engines of the plane was turned on his lips murmured, "See you after a month, Qin Qin!"

Five years ago, Qin Yue severed every tie and left her high school sweetheart, Lu Sheng, to pursue her dream of becoming an actress and did perform well in her career. But her smooth sailing life suddenly stuck amidst a tempest which not only destroyed her reputation but also made her own managing company abandon her. 

She was truly forced to disappear from the crowd when a silver of hope shone upon her in the form of NC Entertainments, the company which was currently ruling the entertainment industry, who readily took her in. But little did she know that the light of hope that she was celebrating was nothing but the Hell Fire waiting to ruin her. Her world turned upside down when she found that her new Boss was no one else than Lu Sheng and her constant failures in her career were all his doings…

Angry and hurt she asked him with tear welled eyes if he was satisfied to see her like this for which he coldly smirked and asked back, “Do you think I hate you this little?”

Qin Yue had no other option than to accept her fate and surrender herself to him. But… Can he really be ruthless enough to destroy the person whom he had loved and protected back then?

It was 5.30am on Monday morning and the first day of December.
 
Tale dragged herself out of bed to get ready for work. She walked to the living room and laid on her couch, she was seriously trying to get a ten minute nap...

He crossed her mind, she would have liked to talk to him but she recalled he had forced his way into her life and she had forgotten the simple act of exchanging phone  numbers. A little part of her wished he'd show up at her front door again, ah, what a dreamer i am. 

Beep*
 It was a norm that her contacts remembered her every first day of a new month so she would get to it later. The nap wasn't ready to take her so she set to prepare for work. 

G.R.A phase 2... Same Time

Su Yan fought tooth and nail not to want to call her and he had gone only one day, it was a difficulty that only made him upset. Yet he thought of her. Odder still, he had dreamt of her. He couldn't remember all of it but that feel of soft skin, slim body with soft curves under his hands, big brown eyes staring into his left him uncomfortable and helpless and he never did helpless.

He struggled to think of something else, the contract he was finally going to close that day. He was the first of his family in generations to leave China and try to work with an African government and he was determined to make it the right move. 
He decided lying awake trying to make sense of what was wrong with him was not going to get him anything good. 
He entered his bathroom, as he lathered up to give himself a shave, he thought of Tale again. 
He nicked his chin with the razor and decided there and then it was Tales' fault he wasn't paying attention. He didn't have time for a stubborn and beautiful number cruncher, he had work to do.  

But sending a text wouldn't hurt, so he did.

It was 7.30am before Su Yan was ready, dressed in a dark blue suit. He came down stairs to find Woo Jin reading the morning newspaper and having tea. They had gotten used to Nigerian tea which was an easy transition. 

"What's my schedule for today?" Su Yan asked as he set to make himself a cup of tea. It took him a while to learn how to do that. 
"What am I now, your personal assistant?" Woo Jin replied closing the paper.

"Well, technically you gave yourself that job." Woo Jin was his bodyguard but first his best friend and that was the only reason he had agreed to have him travel across a continent with him. 

"Are you going to talk about her? You owe me!" Woo Jin was dying to know

"Like i said she's a friend," he replied taking the newspaper,
"Of course, you saw her two days in a row, that never happens and worse! You smiled at her!" he wasn't about to let that go.

"I do smile." Su Yan replied in defense.
"Not in year's bro, not in years." Woo Jin answered. Su Yan shrugged.
"So what now?"
"Now, we get to work."
"Don't play dumb, you are fine as long as it doesn't get serious but if you are thinking or even considering being serious for a second with this girl. For one your mother will kill me, two, you will be facing Hades as I'm sure your mum will have him summoned."
"It's not serious." he replied with no expression on his face. "Yet." he completed in his mind

Beep*

"Happy new month to you too, thank you. Not to be rude but who is this? Have a lovely day ahead."

 The corner of his mouth curved a little as he read the text.

"Oh she's got you." Woo Jin smiled shaking his head as he stood up to go wait for his friend by the car. 

"Su Yan" He felt like if he typed more, she would see how he felt. Phone tucked in his suit pocket he took his last sip of tea and walked out.

He got behind the wheels with his friend as they headed to the Government house. 

Beep* 

"What are you pulling over for?" a startled Woo Jin asked.

"You drive" Su Yan replied as he got down to the other side. 

"Man, you are getting crazy" he got himself dragged out when he wasn't fast enough. 
When did he become the third wheel all of a sudden? Life wasn't fair after all.

"You chicken! I didn't give you my number, how did you get my number?" 
Chicken? Most girls he met dare not call him anything other than his name; he always thought they behaved like a trained dog bred only for his approval and what they felt his taste was. Only one had come close to his heart and she had seen him as a prize, a trophy. He was after all one of Chinas eligible bachelors, a title that he hated and didn't care for.

Woo Jin who was driving now was trying to get a glimpse of the text to no avail.

"What is going on?" 

"I don't know but my dearest friend, I'm sure I'm going to find out soon."

"I stole it. Sue me..." what was he going to call her... "Bunny" he typed in reply as satisfaction washed over him.

"You are lost man" his best friend replied more anxious to see how this play out.
"I know, I can't wait to be found." 

Beep*

"Oh It's on! I'm at work now so have a wonderful day ahead"
He wasn't going to let this end, not without finding out what is was. He decided as kept his phone back in his pocket.
Tale liked the cute text, she liked that he had taken her number without her notice. She was at the gate of the church when she sent the last text. 

Beep*
She opened the text fast without looking

"Bitch happy new month. I love you. Get a man. Quit your job. Live your best life."
Precious, how she was allowed in the educational sector, she would never know but she deserved all the good things in her life. 
She smiled as she saw the truth in the text, so she replied. 

"I'm on it...Bitch. Happy new month!"

An accountant in a church wasn't for her. She knew so from the first day she got the job...but it made her parents happy and paid her bills.  The only person that knew how she truly felt was her best friend. What had she done about it? Settled, she hates to hurt those she cared about and for them she would settle.

——————————————————————————

"I've had quite a bit of Nigerian food and i can say yours might be good" he replied ending the topic as he finally dug in.

Tale had been avoiding his face since the moment they met but now she could see clearly under her mini chandelier.
His face was well sculpted and all clear with a jawline to die for and It embodied the very essence of masculine beauty, he had a perfect forehead and his eyebrows were perfectly winged that they made her fingertips throb and made her a little jealous. The only place that held a little softness were his eyes, there were as dark as night but beautiful. His hair was midnight black and fell to one side of his face covering a scar she couldn't see yet.
Such a face did not belong to a man who was sweet but of one who commanded, demanded and took action. His lips were so fine and firm, it sent a seductive shiver down her spine. Men like this-- who looked like he did led women to sin... And into loosing their peace of mind. 

"You know it's rude to stare?" he said when he felt he had allowed her have her fill.

DISCLAIMER

All characters asides from the lead female character Tale which part of her is about my life (I'm an accountant, i never liked my job and I really want to travel the world, someday soon) is fictional. I believe one of the joys of writing is being able to become someone else. 
All characters are fictitious and any resemblance to a real life person is completely a coincidence.


UPDATE

I'm still trying to figure it out.. lol
stick with me to find out.

Xia Ling's lips curved into a smile.
She had also gone to take a shower. It was a little tiring to fly like this. She was also prepared to sleep and wake up comfortably before waiting for the filming in the evening.
* 
By the time Shen Sibai came out of the bathroom and turned on his phone, his phone had already been bombarded by Shen Mu. Text messages were reminding him to restrain himself and not leave any evidence behind with decadence. The hotel was surrounded by the media.
A wide towel was tied around his waist, and his refreshing short hair was dripping with water.
The water droplets slid down his shoulders and landed on his perfectly formed body.
The man who walked out of the bathroom had a gentle outline because his hair was slightly wet.
Shen Sibai replied to shen mu directly, "got it. "
He remembered the dirtiness that was unwilling to expose him.
Shen Sibai turned on his phone and logged into Weibo, which he had not opened for a long time.
As soon as he logged into Weibo, he realized... ...
Today's Weibo seemed to be particularly lively.
There were also many people who privately messaged him and tagged him.
Looking at the source of the fans'agitation, Shen Sibai saw a weibo post that tagged him.
3:34 pm.
MOXA V: [ good afternoon, Mr. Shen. We're going to meet soon. This afternoon, I saw the white clouds passing by outside the plane. It was very beautiful. At that time, I thought of your bright side profile... ... The assistant said that when I think of you, I smile ... What about you ?@shen Sibai v@take you to the tourism official's Weibo. ]
Looking at this short sentence, Shen Sibai seemed to be able to imagine how a woman would look like when he had just left.
On her fair face, the thick eyelashes trembled slightly. The color of her eyes was definitely extremely seductive
Her smile was curved, just like that ignorant yet alluring banshee.
Shen Sibai was a little thirsty, and only after drinking two glasses of water did he manage to quench his thirst.
His slender hand put down the glass of water, and as if he had thought of something, his thin lips suddenly curved.
He opened Weibo and also sent a Weibo Post.
As a response to the woman.
Shen Sibai: [ good afternoon, Miss Mi. At this moment, I really want to see you.@infectious@take you to travel officer Weibo ]
He was not lying, even though he had just been separated from infectious for half an hour.
He was already beginning to miss her.
Even though he knew that he had to rest well in the afternoon and start work at night.
He turned off his phone and lay on the bed. Shen Sibai leaned over and hugged the pillow.
He could not help but bury himself in the pillow and take a deep breath.
However, the pillow was filled with hotel incense. It did not smell bad, but in the end, it was not the light and elegant smell that he wanted to smell.
He seemed to have really gone a little crazy. They had just separated, and he could not help but want to see her again.
Looking at the wall that separated him and infectious disease, Shen Sibai's eyes were a little dark.
Separated by a wall, he could only sleep alone!
* 
In the afternoon, the travel crew made an emergency remedy.
They sent out tidbits and promoted the three pairs of celebrity artistes to form a pleasant-sounding couple name to rope in the couple fans.
Finally, Shen Sibai's fan support group stopped.
On the other side, before the crew could breathe a sigh of relief, a large wave of anti-fans once again arrived at the battlefield.
They took it as their duty to protect Shen Sibai's chastity and wantonly attacked infectious disease and the "blind" travel crew.
In their words, Shen Sibai was the untainted white lotus... ...
And now, he was dating the Infectious Disease Crew?
INFECTIOUS DISEASE WAS THAT PIT OF FIRE He wanted to get his hands on their great white Dream on!
And the travel crew forced Shen Sibai and infectious disease to get together in order to push their great white into the pit of fire.
The official Weibo was bombarded countless times, and infectious disease's Weibo did not stop either.
...
The travel crew immediately went to look at infectious disease's Weibo, Shen Sibai's Weibo.
These two people!
Could there be too many pink bubbles?

Xia Ling wanted to run, but no matter where she went, she could always see the devil king with a gentle and malicious look in his eyes.

Text: Yan Luo Bai, "fast wear, flirt: Plan to save the fallen boss"

Translated and Editted by: La0o9

Gu Qing Shan opens his eyes, pulling out 2 arrows from the quiver, set them both on the arrow, slightly pulled and let go.

As the 2 arrows quickly flew out, they drew a twisting curved pattern on the air, both pinning a single leaf to its tree.

Curved arrows!

Gu Qing Shan's heart slightly jumps, the Skill was just as he thought.

This way, the trajectory of his attacks becomes unpredictable.

"Using spirit energy to guide the path…"

Gu Qing Shan mumbled, then got ready to use "Swallows Fly Twice" again.

The 2 arrows shot out at different directions, each drawing a large curve, avoiding trees in their way, both hitting a fleeing rabbit around 100 meters away within the dense forest.

Even Gu Qing Shan, as a person who returned from more than 10 years in the future, was highly fascinated by this Skill.

So this is humanity's General-class archery Skill.

Gu Qing Shan paced back and forth, thought a bit to himself and raised the bow.

Rapid Fire!

Swallows Fly Twice!

As the bowstring kept being pulled back again and again, the arrows it shot all curved in weird ways, not hitting their targets.

Gu Qing Shan frowned, again fell into thought.

"Swallows Fly Twice" is a very good skill, but why can't he do a rapid fire with it, could it be that powerful skills like this have a cooldown?

No, that can't be right.

He experimented again and again, still not able to succeed.

Swallows Fly Twice is a high-level Archery skill, so if it's used consecutively you can't guarantee the precision anymore.

No, that's also not correct.

Gu Qing Shan in a frenzy-like state, kept experimenting again and again, halfway through he even unconsciously combined "Solid" in as well.

After an hour.

Two arrows shot turned into grey shadows, almost seeming like real live snakes, drawing a twisting curving trajectory, both hitting a leaf at the same time.

The arrows flying trajectory cannot be predicted at all, combined with a rapid fire speed, anyone that faces Gu Qing Shan's arrows will completely be overwhelmed, not knowing how or where to dodge at all.

Gu Qing Shan lightly nodded, lowering his bow.

Sure enough, you can actually do it, the only problem being whether or not you can spend the effort to think, to practice the skills.

Ping!

The sudden System sound made Gu Qing Shan's heart jumped.

Glancing up, he saw on the War God UI, the round button representing "War God Skills" was flashing a notice.

"User Gu Qing Shan combined three Archery skills into one, creating a new skill: Shifting Flurry"
"Shifting Flurry (primary), fire 5 consecutive arrows with unpredictable trajectory to attack enemies in a very short time period" (TN: as in elementary, the very first level)

This is possible!?

Gu Qing Shan opened his mouth in surprise, staring speechlessly at the "(primary)" next to the skill name.

The word "primary" means that there will be a higher grade.

Who would've thought he could create a Growth Skill just like that.

As he was still surprised, a shining small line of text appeared on War God UI.

"Growth Skills are exceptionally rare; user is advised to train it more in order to raise its level as soon as possible"

That's right, a regular skill's strength is dependent only on how much spirit energy is put into it, its output changes depending on how much spirit energy is used.

But Growth Skills are different.

A unique aspect of all Growth Skills is that, as a player train his Skill works more and more, its own power will also rise, all the way until heaven.

These types of skills are so rare you can only pray and hope to get one.

At later stages of the game, when Growth Skills have already reached a certain peak, some of them even started to be praised as "Semi-Divine Skills".

Anyone with a Growth Skill becomes a person for people to look up to in envy.

Gu Qing Shan breaths in and solemnly raises his bow.

Shifting Flurry!

Pew pew pew pew pew, five consecutive sounds, five shadows quickly flew, just like a chaotic dance of snakes and dragons!

Every arrow seems to be alive, drawing different arcs across the air, dodging every obstacle, finally hitting the same branch more than 200 meters away.

Gu Qing Shan is completely stunned, stunned by his own Skill.

After a while, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "System, can I keep combining regular skills to make Growth Skills?"

The War God UI is silent for a bit, then suddenly a line of text:

"Comprehending others' skills is just an initial function, helping the user to constantly create more Growth Skills, that is the true purpose of War God Skills"

Gu Qing Shan sighs, mumbling to himself: "So I was wrong this whole time, so this is the true value of War God Skills"

Looking at the row of buttons at the bottom of his War God UI, only "War God Skills" is active right now.

But this one function has already given him so much to be surprised about.

If one day, all of my skills are Growth Skills…

Simply terrifying.

Gu Qing Shan tightly grips the military bow, suddenly gaining greater a sense of confidence.

Growth Skills and Soul Points, both of these are very unique things.

Using Soul Points to increase his level and skills is already much more cost effective compared to using Experience points.

At least in the short run, through the use of "military qi training method", the amount of Soul Points required for every level is still trivial.

Gu Qing Shan can just use Soul Points to level up instead of being like the players in his past life, having to struggle and collect each and every bit of Experience point possible.

At later stages of the game, every level requires a terrifying amount of Experience Points, greatly slowing down how quickly a player can increase their own fighting strength.

Aside from that, there's also the War God UI, letting him create Growth Skills by himself.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly had a feeling, he can definitely go much further now compared to his past life.

Since his unexpected return to the past, Gu Qing Shan's heart was always under a constant pressure and a sense of urgency.

This is a lost age, a part of history where players didn't exist.

Since his return, he could see strange things that was different from his past life everywhere, many things that he didn't know about before are now quietly happening.

Even the near-invincible chaotic species Faceless Giant already appeared.

Gu Qing Shan could almost feel the grip of death inching closer and closer.

This type of intuition is instinctive, having saved his life in the past numerous times.

For the sake of the present, he has to desperately get stronger, so that in a future not far from now, at the time that death comes, he'll be able to find that one chance of survival.

Gu Qing Shan sighs again, glancing at the War God UI to look at his skill column.

Right now, on the skill column there are 3 skills "Solid", "Rapid Fire", "Shifting Flurry (primary)".

Swallows Fly Twice is already gone, completely replaced by Shifting Flurry.

Unlike the first 3 Skills he got, "Shifting Flurry" requires more spirit energy to control the arrows' flight, as well as having a "primary" ranking.

This is nothing surprising, stronger Skills naturally require more spirit energy.

After this, I'll have to spend quite a bit of time to train this Skill, quickly raising "Shifting Flurry" skill rank.

Gu Qing Shan quickly packed up and prepared to leave.

Not far from here, demon beasts seem to have already caught the bloody smell of the serpent's corpse, their roaring getting closer.

Pfft!

Without any warning, he suddenly coughed up black blood.

Gu Qing Shan was shocked, but couldn't help himself and coughed up blood two more times.

Wiping the blood off his mouth, Gu Qing Shan tried smelling it.

A faint foul smell.

This is poison.

Why was there suddenly poison in his body? And why did it get forced out?

Gu Qing Shan immediately became cautious, circulating spirit energy around his body to carefully examine himself.

There was nothing wrong with his body, in fact, thanks to the snake liver's nutrition, you could say it's been rejuvenated.

Even the spirit energy inside his Dantian became more fluid, more natural.

This is thanks to the rare snake demon liver.

He was fortunate.

It seems that he unknowingly got poisoned by the serpent demon during the fight from before.

Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but sigh.

The serpent really wasn't as simple as he thought, being able to poison him without him knowing.

If the fight had dragged on any longer, it's hard to say who would be killed first.

Luckily I didn't want the fight to drag on so I finished it off as quickly as possible.

If he didn't kill it so quickly, if he didn't eat its liver right away, if the poison hadn't been revealed so quickly, who knows what would've happened

Evidently, these kinds of rare demon beasts all have one or two aces hidden.

Gu Qing Shan felt a little bit of fear.

either forced or tempted Mr TL being contracted.

let's see when FP use will lasted before being premiumed and go dropped.

Next morning,Jonathan wokeup around 9 am,as it was a holiday.He then walked upto his restroom,freshened up and came to the kitchen to prepare bread toast for breakfast.He placed the slices in the toaster.Just then his phone started ringing.He took the phone and went to the balcony with a glass of milk on the other hand.It was Steve.
"Good morning,Young Master"
"Good morning Steve"
"Do you want me to arrange anything for lunch as usual?"Steve asked politely.
As usual? Was he thinking that Jonathan cannot take care of himself.
"No.Its fine.I will make something myself"
"But,master?"
"Its fine.Its not a big deal"just as he finished the sentence,the fire alarm in the kitchen began to ring.He disconnected the call and ran into the kitchen.There was a lot of smoke coming from the toaster.He quickly unplugged the toaster ,opened the windows and switched on the exhaust fan.After a while the smoke slowly started to clear.
He then went to the toaster and took out the bread slice which now looked like a piece of coal.
"Yeah.No big deal."he sighed.The truth was he never once tried cooking.The only thing he knew was making tea.To begin with,He was from a rich family so if he needed food all he had to do was give Steve a call and in a while the food will be served before him.It was as simple as that.
He cleaned the mess he had created and went to the living room.He took out his phone to make an order.That was when he saw he had about 10 missed calls ,all from Steve.He called him back.
"Young Master,What happened?I heard an alarm.Is everything ok?"his voice was shaking 
"Yeah.Yeah.Everything is fine.Someone nextdoor left their toaster on"he lied.Besides he didn't wanna let him know that couldn't even make a bread toast.
Steve knew that only Jonathan's house was in the 10th level.But he decided not to reveal his Master's lie.
"Did you get any info on that black car?"Jonathan changed the topic.
"No master.We are keeping a watch on the CCTV cameras around the area"Steve replied.
"Okay."
"Master.Do you like to come back home for lunch?"he asked as he knew that his Master won't be able to cook a decent food.
"Didn't I tell you earlier.I can manage on my own."Jonathan replied not admitting defeat.
"I also have some assignments to work on."saying so he disconnected the call.
Steve couldn't help but sigh at how stubborn his Master was.
Jonathan then sent a text to Sandriya.
'Can we discuss about the assignments today?' 
In a few minutes he received a text from her.
'Did you forget that I have work?I have to do extra shifts for taking 2 days off'
Jonathan was disappointed.

After a while ,his phone started ringing again.It was Sandriya.
"Hey.We can finish our assignments today"she said.
"Really.Didn't you say you had work?"he asked.
"Yeah.I did.But my manager called me just now.She said that she had decided to reduce my shifts as I am working hard lately.And guess what she also said she has increased my salary.I can't believe it.Less work time with an increment."She said excitedly.
"Your hard work has really paid you well.So when can we start?"he asked.
"Sharply at 4.Is that fine?"she asked 
"Yeah."
"Okay then.I am gonna have my lunch"
"Okay"
"Did you have lunch?"she asked him
"No.I am not hungry.So I didn't cook"he said quietly.
"Okay then.See you at 4"she replied and disconnected the call.Knowing that she didn't suspect a thing ,his lips curved into a smile.
After he received the text from Sandriya earlier he immediately called Steve.
"Steve.I want you to contact 'Expresso cafe'.My friend Sandriya works there.Ask the Manager to reduce her shifts,give her day offs on weekends and also about her salary,they neednot pay her.She will receive the money from our company instead."he instructed.
"But Master.Isn't this a little too much?"Steve asked politely
"Make sure Sandriya doesn't know who was behind her increment.It should be as if she was awarded for her work.Do I make myself clear?"he asked not minding a single word of what Steve said.
"Yes master"Steve sighed in defeat and did as his Master had instructed.
Jonathan was happy with the result.He then texted Steve 'Well done' and put his mobile beside him and relaxed on the sofa with his head facing the ceiling and closed his eyes.

Now.Why was he doing this?He just wanna spend more time with her.Its normal to spend a lot of time with your friend right?

Jonathan was starting to feel a bit hungry.He slowly rubbed his tummy.It was already 2 pm and he had not eaten anything since morning except for a glass of milk.
He took his phone again and started looking at the menu for ordering food.
Just when he was about press confirm,he heard a knock on the door...

Sandriya is the female protogonist.The story portrays her as a successful woman in the business empire.She is a person who has acheived a lot in such a young age.The story revolves around her mysterious past and the other situations her future has kept in store for her....

There were countless similar news articles, so as long as the two of them appeared in front of the camera at the same time... ...
As long as they held hands, no matter what expression he had, the audience would understand it as a show of affection.
Of course... ... including now ! !
"This is the right to freely choose as you say? HMM? "
The corners of Jin Di's eyes twitched, and the corners of his mouth curved upwards with a hint of anger. However, in the eyes of those outsiders, this had become Miss Zuo's private pampering!
To be able to see a smile on that famous iceberg face... ... What a short-lived thing ! !
"Zuo Aiai, I will only say this once, and I will never say it again. You'd better listen to me clearly. "
"..."
"I don't like other men touching my things. Even if it's only once, I will destroy it completely. "
She could hear that at this moment, although Jin di looked a little frivolous and carefree, the words that came out of his mouth were cold.
He was really angry today.
However, she couldn't help but feel a little wronged.
She had already made it clear in the text message that it was because Mo shaoting had saved her that she agreed to help him.
Moreover, she hadn't done anything overboard, so why was he being so sarcastic?
Moreover, he had been on a business trip for so long and hadn't sent a single text message or called. Why should she obey him the moment he came back?
He had never told her that he was coming to this party... ... Moreover, didn't he prepare another female companion before seeing her ? ?
She was not angry yet. Why did he act as if he had done something wrong?
However, Zuo Aiai was a smart person. Even though she was extremely unhappy and aggrieved, she knew that this was not a good place to make things clear.
She maintained the smile on her face and followed Jin di into the banquet hall... ... Suddenly, the Splendid Banquet Hall came into view ...
This was a banquet hosted by Goldking. The guests were all rich and noble, and they had great expectations and desire to cooperate with Goldking.
Therefore, the moment Jin di appeared, even the music in the banquet hall stopped, and people immediately surrounded him with smiles.
"Mr. Jin, you're here. This must be the famous Miss Zuo. Nice to meet you! "
A short and fat man in a suit came over and stretched out his thick finger with a gold ring towards her.
He probably didn't dare to rashly extend his hand to shake Jin di's hand, so he chose to make a move on Zuo Aiai?
She laughed dryly, and just as she was thinking about whether she should take this hand... ...
Suddenly, Jin Di, who had been silent the whole way, suddenly reached out and held that person's hand.
He said in a low voice, "director of Changyun Group, it's a pleasure to meet you. It's my honor to have you attend Goldking's dinner party today. "
This was the first time she had seen Jin Di's real face at work. It turned out that he was not as overbearing and indifferent as she had imagined... ...
It even seemed... ... A little .. The temperament of a mature man?
It was really... ... completely different from usual ...
Her heart skipped a beat. The huge contrast made her want to laugh... ... could this be the legendary.. .. Cute contrast?
"Ah, CEO Jin, you still remember me? " The short and fat man was a little overwhelmed by the favor and exclaimed in surprise.
Jin Di smiled and raised his eyebrows. "Of course, Goldking's latest resort plan, Long Fortune Group invested a huge sum of money to cooperate with us, so I naturally won't forget the director. Zuo Zuo, come, say hello to Director Chen. "

On the plane, a roar came from the broadcast. "Zuo Aiai, you still dare to run away for me? "
She raised her voice. "The world is very big, I want to go out and take a look. "
"You can go out, but I'm afraid you won't be able to come back, " the man said shamelessly.
"Why? "
Zuo Aiai blushed. "Get lost"
"Your photo has been posted on the world's best-selling magazine! " The man said domineeringly. "according to your husband's popularity, there are countless women who want to kill you. For Your Safety, be good! Come home with me! "

A large, grey, sleeping dragon is roused from the realm of dreams. 

One eye literally cracks open, causing blockage to come down from it's previously crust caked eyelid. A large, slit, vertical black pupil within a yellow sclera with specks of impurities is exposed, ever so slightly- though it would still be considered quite the large opening to those among the races of humanity. It would not wake-up just because it had no more actual need for sleep. At it's age, sleeping was the thing that granted it the most comfort. The reason it woke was because it felt a strange disturbance.

It sensed an annoyance in it's future. Not danger, or foreboding, just general exasperation. 

In confusion over it's first premonition in quite some time being one that seemed quite benign, the dragon begrudgingly went back to it's slumber, continuing from where it's mystical trip through the realm of dreams left off. 

After all, it had it's own arrangements to ward off annoyances.

****

"Neat place. Not too damp, and evenly lit. Proficient use of magic." Ace remarks out loud, as he walks forward into what seemed at first to be the dark, menacing mouth of the cave; it instead turned out to be a nice path of smooth stone in a straight line forward, though unadorned. At the roof of the cave, floating mystic lights seem to provide a comfortable warmth that evenly lights the entire large space, leaving nearly zero shadow to comment on.

[Don't pretend to be a hotshot on magic all of a sudden. What you use is nothing more than parlor tricks in comparison to this- you completely lack the knowledge required. You'll see when we check back up on Arthur what little you know,] Joker's text says with a mocking tone.

"Yeah yeah, whatever. It'll take some time for him to be worth looking at."

[Words of an amateur.]

As they bickered back in forth, they kept walking, losing track of time. Then they kept walking.

And walking.

...And walking.

Before suddenly, Ace stops. 

"...Hey Joker." He says out loud in a strange tone.

[...Hey yourself.] Joker's text comes out in a stilted manner.

"How many days has it been?"

[Probably ten, judging from the level of distortion here. I wasn't aware of the exact extent of this old guy's magical abilities- I'll admit I miscalculated. This is very proficient use of time and space. I doubt it came with just age- even if another dragon lived as long as this one, they couldn't emulate this without massive investment and talent in this field.]

That's right, they were stuck in a looping path. This was a dual function arcane formation.

The problem with a formation like this was that it affected space as well as time. 

The utilization of space was actually amazing- it took a very long time for it to seem to repeat on itself. The nigh perfection in the even terrain, smoother than silk on the curved roof as well as flat floor, made things seem to just blend together. Joker was the first to notice this discrepancy. 

Meanwhile, Ace was the one to notice the time acceleration. 

Even the most accomplished human being on the border of godhood would not notice the very, very slight dip in "speed"- in mental processing, bodily response time, and so on. This was because this zone touched on the very secrets of time- the absolute relativity of it meant that the passage of time can become truly unique to each person. The only reason Ace noticed it was once again a result of his prodigious luck. He simply had a feeling of wanting to scratch his cheek, before he saw a slight "fold" in space over his hand as it moved upwards- the very point in which time seemed to resume acceleration. The bodies of those trapped here wouldn't even notice their body's failing systems- since, in reality, they were never moving in the first place. 

As soon as this realization between Ace and Joker came together, the world around them seemed to melt-

Exposing the ominous mouth of the cave before them yet again.

This was a dragon who was non-hostile- the consequences of it actually wishing to harm Ace and Joker made them inwardly shudder. 

Against overwhelming power, luck can only do so much.

Ace took a deep breath, and discarded his flippant attitude. Joker and Ace did not say another thing to each other, before once again entering the depths of the cave, no different than it appeared in the prior illusion.

****

Quickly, they found themselves in what seemed to be a throne room after going through that familiar entrance area, but without the distorted formation.

A large bed resembling that of a dog's lay on the other side of the giant throne room. Leading up to it was a large, grey carpeted walkway on what seemed to be a substance resembling a more glittering marble making up the floor. There were murals over every inch of wall and ceiling, with the ceiling in question resembling that of the Sistine Chapel. Yet, in contrast to the awe-inspiring biblical imagery, various scenes of the gruesome end of the world in many different forms took up every inch of the area besides the floor.

However, Ace and Joker saw none of this, at least not at first.

Their eyes were instead glued onto the being lying on the large, grey dog bed (that despite looking like a dog bed still exuded a bizarre aura)-

A dragon. 

Just as grey as the carpeted walkway and plush dog bed, a dragon slept. It seemed to release no presence whatsoever, but the duo before it had no intentions of underestimating it any further. At this point, Ace whispered to Joker in his head.

"Hey."

[What?] The text box's words were in italics. 

"So... why was I supposed to go here?"

[Well, the plan was to talk to the dragon... but it seems to be asleep.]

Ace blinks.

"Yeah, I can see that. So, should I just wait for it to wake up?"

[I don't recommend that.]

"Why? Will it not like me being in it's room?"

[Probably that... as well as the fact that it probably won't wake up ever again if something doesn't psychically wake it up. So... that's your job.]

Ace has a mortified look on his face in response to reading the text box.

"You want me to wake up a DRAGON? Look, I'm lucky, and not that dissuaded by pain or death, but I don't want to die in an anti-anticlimactic way again. It was super lame. And how is someone like me supposed to wake it up!?"

The text box shakes up and down as if it to shrug.

[Dunno. You could always poke it or something.]

"...You are suggesting I poke a dragon awake?"

[Would you rather throw cards at it? If you yell at it, it likely won't hear you. Come on, you'll be fine.]

"I will find a way to get you back for this."

[You could always just die. I'd die too.]

"Ha ha."

If Lady Luck is anywhere in my life, she's on her knees between my legs!

I'm walking on sunshine- if you don't want me to walk on your bones instead, you'll get out of my way!

Deal or no deal, I always go all in; I take every bet, and win every bet! DOUBLE DOWN!
